So I have an interview coming up where (according to current students) they WILL ask students [esp internationals] how they intend to pay for med school.
I'm in a bit of a unique situation, and I need some help phrasing it so that I won't ruin the tone of the interview.
Essentially, I'm going to be paying for medical school via a life insurance pay-out when my dad passed away.
It happened a long time ago, I'm completely fine bringing it up in the interview, but I don't want the tone to go from --> , which usually happens when this topic gets brought up.
So what should I say? I don't want to say "I have a trust fund" because that (a) isn't really true, and (b) makes me sound like I come from a very well off family, which I don't. But I also don't want to make my interviewer uncomfortable.
Any thoughts?
